Since 1963, Copenhagen International School (CIS) has been a global pioneer in international education, preparing students to thrive in a rapidly changing world. As one of the first schools to implement the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, CIS has a legacy of academic excellence, world-class university placements, and personal growth.

At CIS, education goes beyond classroom learning - it's about shaping future leaders of a just and sustainable world. Our solar-powered campus, featuring 12,000 panels, is more than an infrastructure achievement; it serves as a living laboratory where students explore the impact of sustainability firsthand. From innovative projects to real-world environmental challenges, CIS students develop critical thinking skills while learning to lead with responsibility and vision.

With students from over 81 nationalities, CIS fosters a dynamic, inclusive community where every individual is respected, valued, and heard. Our diverse environment mirrors the interconnected world students will help shape, encouraging them to build empathy, cultural understanding, and lifelong friendships.

The learning experience at CIS combines academic rigor with creativity and real-world problem-solving. Our faculty of IB-certified educators challenge students to think beyond textbooks, empowering them to engage actively with global issues. Through student-led initiatives and service projects, learners gain practical experience in addressing the challenges of today - and tomorrow.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB) aren't just values we promote - they are principles we live by every day. At CIS, these values are woven into the school culture, creating an environment where all students feel they belong and can succeed.

Our graduates leave CIS prepared to make meaningful contributions across fields like environmental science, international diplomacy, and social entrepreneurship. More than just students, they are innovators, critical thinkers, and problem-solvers equipped to lead with confidence, empathy, and purpose.
